OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Betty Boo... I know your son is missing you I am sure of it.. They have alot of waiting around they are doing the first couple of weeks. But let me tell you the campus they are on is AMAZING... The dorms they live in are beautiful and very clean.. I didnt see them first hand but I saw them in my sons yearbook when it was sent home.. And he said they were awesome.. They have good food too he just said they never seasoned anything.. I know these early days are so very hard.. The unknown of it all is the worst.. And yes they get yelled and PT'd to death but it all becomes clear to them that they are seving their country and they want to be the best in their field and if 8 -9 weeks of bootcamp gives them that they are being given a gift that will last a lifetime through.. So as much as it hurts for us mama's while they are gone, they are being given the lilfe skills they need to survive.. If I can help you any way please let me know... Anna
